using the appliance, read this user manual

carefully, including its hints and warnings.

To avoid unnecessary mistakes and acci-

dents, it is important to ensure that all

people using the appliance are thoroughly

familiar with its operation and safety fea-

tures. Save these instructions and make

sure that they remain with the appliance if

it is moved or sold, so that everyone using

it through its life will be properly informed

on appliance use and safety.

For the safety of life and property keep

the precautions of these user's instruc-

tions as the manufacturer is not responsi-

ble for damages caused by omission.

1.1 Children and vulnerable

people safety

• This appliance is not intended for use

by persons (including children) with re-

duced physical, sensory or mental ca-

pabilities, or lack of experience and

3. DAILY USE

3.1 Use of the fridge

compartment

The temperature of this compartment may

be regulated between +2°C and +8°C.

During normal functioning the indicator

shows the set temperature.

A medium setting is generally the

most suitable.

The exact setting should be chosen keep-

ing in mind that the temperature inside the

appliance depends on:

• room temperature

• how often the door is opened

• the quantity of food stored

• the location of the appliance.

If the ambient temperature is high

or the appliance is fully loaded,

and the appliance is set to the

lowest temperatures, it may run

continuously causing frost to form

on the rear wall. In this case the

Temperature regulator must be

set to a higher temperature to al-

low automatic defrosting and

therefore reduced energy con-

sumption.

3.2 Taste Guard Filter

Your appliance is equipped with a carbon

filter behind the air lever flap.

The filter purifies the air from unwanted

odours in the fridge compartment pre-

serving food quality.

On delivery the filter is in a plastic bag.

Refer to "Installation of the Taste Guard

filter" for instructions.

Make sure that the air lever flap is

closed to obtain proper function.

3.3 Vegetable Drawer

The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and

vegetables.

Some models have a separator inside the

drawer that can be placed in different po-

sitions to allow for the subdivision best

suited to personal needs.

All parts inside the drawer can be re-

moved for cleaning purposes.

ENGLISH 29

3.4 Movable shelves

A

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped

with a series of shelves support so that

the shelves can be positioned as desired.

Some shelves must be lifted up by the

rear edge to enable them to be removed.

The shelf (A) above the water

module is recommended to be

placed as shown for good air cir-

culation.

Do not move the glass shelf

above the vegetable drawer to en-

sure correct air circulation.

3.5 Bottle rack

Place the bottles (with the opening facing

front) in the pre-positioned shelf.

If the shelf is positioned horizon-

tally, place only closed bottles.

This bottle holder shelf can be tilted in or-

der to store previously opened bottles. To

obtain this result, pull the shelf up so it

can rotate upwards and be placed on the

next higher level.

3.6 Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of

various sizes, the door shelves can be

placed at different heights.

To make these adjustments proceed as

follows:

Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of

the arrows until it comes free, then reposi-

tion as required.

Do not move the big lower door

shelf to ensure correct air circula-

tion.

30

www.electrolux.com

3.7 Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first

time, wash the interior and all internal ac-

cessories with lukewarm water and some

neutral soap so as to remove the typical

smell of a brand-new product, then dry

thoroughly.

Do not use detergents or abrasive

powders, as these will damage

the finish.

Check that the drain hose at the rear of

the cabinet discharges into the drip tray

4. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

4.1 Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or

leave it open longer than absolutely

necessary.

• Place the shelf above the water module

as described in chapter “Daily use”.

• If the ambient temperature is high and

the Temperature Regulator is set to low

temperature and the appliance is fully

loaded, the compressor may run con-

tinuously, causing frost or ice on the

evaporator. If this happens, set the

Temperature Regulator toward warmer

settings to allow automatic defrosting

and so a saving in electricity consump-

tion.

4.2 Hints for fresh food

refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

• do not store warm food or evaporating

liquids in the refrigerator

• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if

it has a strong flavour

• position food so that air can circulate

freely around it

4.3 Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:

Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags

and place on the glass shelf above the

vegetable drawer.

For safety, store in this way only one or

two days at the most.

Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.: these

should be covered and may be placed on

any shelf.

Fruits and vegetables: these should be

thoroughly cleaned and placed in the spe-

cial drawer(s) provided. When in contact,

lemon juice can discolor the plastic parts

of your fridge. It is therefore recommen-

ded to keep citruses in separate contain-

ers.

Butter and cheese: these should be

placed in special airtight containers or

wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene

bags to exclude as much air as possible.

Bottles: these should have a cap and

should be stored in the bottle rack on the

door.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if

not packed, must not be kept in the re-

frigerator.

4.4 Hints for temperature inside

the fridge

• A suitable temperature inside the fridge

is approx. +4° C. When the tempera-

ture regulator is set to +4° C this repre-

sents the mean temperature in the

fridge. It is normal with higher tempera-

ture in the top of the fridge. If the tem-

ENGLISH 31

perature regulator is set to a cold tem-

perature, the ambient temperature is

high or if the fridge is fully loaded the

compressor will run for a longer time. If

too cold, change to a higher tempera-

ture setting.

Do not place food against or close

to the temperature sensor (A).

This can result in too cold temper-

atures.

A

• If you want to check the temperature of

food stored in the refrigerator, place a

glass of water centrally in the cabinet,

and put a proper thermometer with an

accuracy of +/– 1 °C into it. After 6

hours the temperature can be moni-

tored. The measuring shall be per-

formed under steady-stated conditions

(without changing the load).

5. CARE AND CLEANING

CAUTION!

Unplug the appliance before car-

rying out any maintenance opera-

tion.

This appliance contains hydrocar-

bons in its cooling unit; mainte-

nance and recharging must there-

fore only be carried out by author-

ized technicians.

5.1 Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regular-

ly:

• clean the inside and accessories with

lukewarm water and some neutral

soap.

• regularly check the door seals and wipe

clean to ensure they are clean and free

from debris.

• rinse and dry thoroughly.

Do not pull, move or damage any

pipes and/or cables inside the

cabinet.

Never use detergents, abrasive

powders, highly perfumed clean-

ing products or wax polishes to

clean the interior as this will dam-

age the surface and leave a

strong odor.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the

compressor at the back of the appliance

with a brush. This operation will improve

the performance of the appliance and

save energy consumption.

Take care of not to damage the

cooling system.

When moving the cabinet, lift it by

the front edge to avoid scratching

the floor.

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners

contain chemicals that can attack/dam-

age the plastics used in this appliance.

For this reason use a soft cloth rinsed in

warm water and neutral soap emulsion for

cleaning external surfaces.

32

www.electrolux.com

Do not use detergents or abrasive

paste as these will damage the

paint, or stainless steel anti finger

print coating.

After cleaning, reconnect the equipment

to the mains supply.

5.2 Replacing the Taste Guard

filter

To get the best performance the Taste

Guard filter once every year.

New active filters can be purchased from

your local dealer.

Refer to "Installation of the Taste Guard

filter" for instructions.

5.3 Replacing the water filter

Remove the filter. A small amount of wa-

ter will run out. Dry off and fit the new fil-

ter.

Refer to "Installation of the water filter".

Replacement filters can be ordered from

Electrolux Service Force Centre.

The water connection does not

need to be switched off when

changing the filter.

5.4 Replacing the gas cylinder

Remove the gas cylinder, refer to "Installa-

tion of the gas cylinder".

The replacement gas cylinder is obtained

through your local dealer.

5.5 Cleaning the water

dispenser

When necessary, clean the surfaces of

the dispenser, using only a soft cloth and

warm water.

The dispenser drip tray can be cleaned

with a lukewarm water and some neutral

soap. Lime deposits on the dispenser sur-

face can removed using vinegar or diluted

acetic acid as cleaning agent. Wipe clean

with a damp cloth.

5.6 Defrosting the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the

evaporator of the refrigerator compart-

ment every time the motor compressor

stops, during normal use. The defrost wa-

ter drains out through a drain hole into a

special container at the back of the appli-

ance, over the motor compressor, where

it evaporates.

5.7 Periods of non-operation

When the water system is not use for a

long period, turn off the water connection

to the refrigerator.

• A filter that has been in service shall not

be exposed to temperatures below 0°C

as cracking of the filter body may occur

due to freezing expansion.

• If the filter still is to be preserved for lat-

er reuse, suitable storage temperature

will be +5°C.

When the appliance is not in use for long

periods, take the following precautions:

1.

disconnect the appliance from elec-

tricity supply

2.

remove all food

3.

clean the appliance and all accesso-

ries

4.

leave the door/doors open to prevent

unpleasant smells.

the system thoroughly by dispensing at

least three liters (5 pints) of water.

• If necessary, the system can be

cleaned by using a sanitizing kit which

can be ordered through Electrolux

Service Force Centre or through our

website www.electrolux.com.

If the cabinet will be kept on, ask

somebody to check it once in a

while to prevent the food inside

from spoiling in case of a power

failure.

ENGLISH 33

5.8 Cleaning the ventilation grille

WARNING!

Read the "Safety Information"

carefully for your safety and cor-

rect operation of the appliance

before installing the appliance.

7.1 Positioning

Install this appliance at a location where

the ambient temperature corresponds to

the climate class indicated on the rating

plate of the appliance:

Cli-

mate

class

Ambient temperature

SN +10°C to + 32°C

N +16°C to + 32°C

ST +16°C to + 38°C

T +16°C to + 43°C

ENGLISH 37

7.2 Location

50 mm

To ensure best performance, if the appli-

ance is positioned below an overhanging

wall unit, the minimum distance between

the top of the cabinet and the wall unit

must be at least 40 mm. Ideally, however,

the appliance should not be positioned

below overhanging wall units.

The ventilation space can be:

• directly above the appliance

• behind and above the top cupboard.

In this case, the space behind the top

cupboard must be at least 50 mm

deep.

7.3 Electrical connection

Before plugging in, ensure that the volt-

age and frequency shown on the rating

plate correspond to your domestic power

supply.

The appliance must be earthed. The pow-

er supply cable plug is provided with a

contact for this purpose. If the domestic

power supply socket is not earthed, con-

nect the appliance to a separate earth in

compliance with current regulations, con-

sulting a qualified electrician.

The manufacturer declines all responsibili-

ty if the above safety precautions are not

observed.

This appliance complies with the E.E.C.

Directives.

• Remove the transport support (4) from

underneath the water unit.

• Cut the pump securing tie (5) and re-

move it.

Some models are fitted with a si-

lencing pad under the cabinet. Do

not remove this pad.

7.5 Rear spacers

• Install the two spacers and the locking

pins provided within the accessory bag

as shown in the figure.

• Install the spacer at the back of the ap-

pliance. Insert the locking pin.

7.6 Connecting the water hose.

Water supply should be provided with a

tap and 3/4" male connector within 1,5 m

from the appliance.

This work is to be carried out by a skilled

plumber.

There are different type-approved taps

and tap assemblies on the market.

The water hose must not be cracked,

squeezed or put in tight bends.

The safety valve provided in a package in-

side the appliance should be used to pre-

vent overflow.

Before the safety valve is placed on the

tap, turn the pointer clockwise to number

10 with the enclosed plastic key.

Install the safety valve on the tap and let

at least 10 litres of water flow through the

device.

Before connecting the appliance turn the

pointer to number 1 on the safety valve.

If the safety valve has shut off, detach it

and press the red plunger which is loca-

ted inside the lower housing of the device

itself.

Before the appliance is placed in final lo-

cation, ensure that the water connection

has been correctly carried out and that

there is no leakage at the connection to

the water tap.

Tighten the screw enough by hand.

Make sure that the gasket is properly

positioned in the connector.

We recommend that the appliance is

placed on a "run-off" mat intended for re-

frigerators and freezers, which makes it

easier to detect possible leakage.
